Looks like numbers for this month are:

PS4 - 361K
NSW - 308K
XB1 - 302K

I was super spot on with PS4 and XB1 this month. Switch too, pretty much about what i expected, but i tried to win the bet until it wasn't over lol

Congrats Quickrick, a bet is a bet, i'll wait.

That line up seriusly hurted Switch Q1 way more than i expected.

Q1 in the USA is down about 50K but up about 110K in Japan. It evens out 👌

You guys are jumping the gun by calling labo a hit based on Amazon. even bayonetta managed to be number one on amazon for few days near release and was # 8 for the month. it sold like what 90k for the month

Thing is, not many of us expected it to start strong but you can bet this thing will have serious legs. It's also, seemingly critically receptive, so given its overwhelmingly positive reception so far from the MAINSTREAM press, everything is pointing to a major hit. This will be a game that can transcend usual games' limitations and boundaries.

I see nothing that show its a hit, except for being on #1 hourly chart on  amazon which is expected since almost any switch release with a bit of hype makes it there, now if it moves up to number 3-4 on the monthly ranking then i can see your point.

Well you jumped the gun and said it would flop, so I'm assuming others are allowed to predict the opposite no? 

i'm not making a prediction based on amazon software rankings.

Neither am i. At least solely anyway. I'm surprised it's had such a presence on an online sales site tbh. It's not that kind of a title, so to get to #1 is still quite an achievement in my book. No, it's because of both the surprise interest on Amazon and the positive press coverage. Pretty sure the former is down to the latter too. So, should this continue to be the case then i'm pretty confident we have a hit on our hands.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Fair enough

You're just so negative when it comes to Nintendo though. Give things a chance, geez lol

The thing got 14 million views on youtube, honestly i was i expecting to do much better on amazon, where games ranked 7-10 for the month can do less then 100k, i'm expecting  150-200k for labo, april npd

Yes, those 14m should tell you something. Even if it does sub-200k in April, it will sell for a long time. Expect legendary legs!

You were the one pointing out its previous weak performance and were so quick to say people werent interested in it based on the same Amazon performance you are now downplaying. Your negativity about all things Nintendo clouds your judgement.

It is now above GOW in Japan, Canada and the US and even if that doesnt tell us it will sell anywhere close to GOW, it does tell us there is a lot of interest in it.

 

Even the Robot kit isnt doing too badly everywhere.
